Hikeleader Harold Otto
Class B 6 hours of hiking
Sunday, 7 August, 2022: Wienerwald section of El Camino/Jakobsweg
Description: We’ll hike through the Wienerwald on the historic pilgrim trail leading to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. You will have a chance to go up the 24-meter-high Troppbergwarte lookout platform. Bring a picnic lunch for our stop in the ruins of the Franciscan monastery of Sancta Maria in Paradyso destroyed in 1529 by the Ottomans. These ruins have a mystical spring that may allow you to change the weather with the right incantation. We’ll also walk along a stream with an active beaver population. After this hike, perhaps you can also claim that you had a life-changing experience on El Camino de Santiago. ;)
